We'll be comin' around the mountain

Yes, we went camping again.  Yes, we camp at the same spot every time. Yes, we ate too much food and drank too much soda.  Yes, we laughed until we cried or snorted.  Yes, we mastered the game of Uno.  Yes, we played horseshoes, shot bb guns and went on four wheeler rides and Yes, we had a blast, just like we always do.
Baby Skish has mastered the big kid swings.  She even pumps her legs to go higher. 

She is all about playing on the swingset at Del Boca Vista. 

Parker mutilated this soda can with his awesome mad bb gun skills.

The men (Jas, Uncle Ster & Matt) showing us their skills.  I just love Jason's pink bb gun, only real men shoot pink guns.
Ry, Matt and PK shooting cans.
Jed doing what he does best, laying down.
Ryan and Maddi taking aim.  I know, my picture descriptions are witty. ;)
Um, short bus?
UNO.  The game that can either unite families or break them apart.  Matt, Drea, Ryan and Lindsey getting ready to show us their Uno playing skills.
Miss Ava coloring and having a snack.  I think she is really going to be an excellent artist.  I mean check that dog and cat out she drew.  Amazing.
Hannah and Kaylee playing Jenga, well their version of Jenga which was making a house for their toys.
Lindsey building the highest Lincoln Log tower ever made. 
 The babes playing Jenga.
 I heart these three.
 Lil' Miss Morgan and her cool shades.
Skishy Puff patiently waiting for her lunch.
 Every time we go camping PK finds some kind of reptile, this time he found a water snake at the reservoir they went fishing at.  He really wanted to bring it home, but we had to put our foot down.  No snakes!

 The raging fire!
 These two girlies are becoming best friends. We love it!
 Sitting around our morning campfire.  Hannah is wearing her 3D shades so that the fire would seem closer to her face.  Ava is picking up the big rocks for Papa.

Jas is telling PK and Hannah stories about when they were little.  The kids love it.


Ava is giving me an extreme stink butt crusty. Sweet.  Hannah went over and tickled her so she would laugh for the camera. 
 Avy thought it was so funny to scratch Parkers head.  She did this for a good ten minutes, laughing hysterically.
 Ava's favorite thing to do when we go camping....get in the cooler.  She thinks she needs to drink 10+ drinks every hour.
This group looks tired!
Food always tastes better when your camping.  Ster was the master breakfast chef.
 Should we be concerned about these pictures?  Does a love for a pet sometimes go to far?  Still to be determined.
 We of course had to go play in the ginormous sand pile. 

We played a little horseshoes.  Trevor showing us his skills.
 Maddi and Ryan waiting in anticipation to see just where oh where is that horeshoe going to land.
 Trevor and Maddi. 
 Jas has pretty good skills, but not as good as me!  Oh yeah, I just said that.
But really, the master at horseshoes is Ster. 
Looky Looky, I got a RINGER! 
 If you weren't playing horseshoes, you sat over here at this table and stuffed your face with good food.
Linz and Drea off for a ride.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  Love this picture.
Jason playing Doctor to Mr. Jed.  They went fishing at a reservoir, which they have now renamed "white trash reservoir"  Why you ask?  Because there were broken glass bottles everywhere and our poor pup cut his foot on a piece of glass.
Ouch!
We headed home Monday afternoon and this is what we got stuck in coming down the canyon. Boo.  Thank goodness for dvd players in the car.
This babe was tuckered out.  Camping is hard work.
Parker: sweaty and hot.  He goes shirtless to cool down.  Sits next to bags of dirty laundry, blankets and jackets that smelled like smoke. AWESOME.
Hannah:  Sick Sick Sick.  Threw up while we were camping.  Threw up while we drove home.  Sitting with throwup bowl, her stuffed Polar Bear named Polar Beary (genius) and cuddled up in one of Ava's blankets that she had to pry away from Ava.
Ava:  Out cold five minutes after we hit the road.  Snoring very loudly.  Sleeping with Blanket and  Binky Binky.  Wakes up a few times and yells and falls back to sleep.  No explanation.
Jas and Kris:  Just glad to be getting home to take a shower and sleep in our own bed.  Jason driving, Kristin sitting with feet up on dashboard,  talking about truckers, paint colors, Glee and why licorice burps are so not awesome.
The End.
